For the update error code 80244019, it means there is a problem contacting the server. You might try Windows update again later. If the error continues appearing, I suggest you submit a Windows Update service request to Microsoft Online Support. Unlimited installation and compatibility support is available at no charge until March 18, 2009.

Search the computer for the game execution file and add it to data execution preventionexception or just select "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only" to disable the DEP feature for the third-party software. In step 3, if it didn't create a shortcut while installing the game, you might manually create it on the desktop and continue with following instructions. Thanks for your time and understanding!

sorry but i don't know exactly whit file i guess to look for the .exe file is in. thanks i think i got the windows update thing fixed for know, but when i install the game it doesn't create a short cut for the game. i installed the game once on my parents comp and had no problem with it. the one thing i noticed on parents comp during installed that i didn't noticed on mine was that i saw a window pop up askin for permission to connect online. it never did this on mine, and it created a shortcut as well, is there something wrong with my comp or what? by the way we bought have the same setup (windows vista home basic), i have 2.19ghz processor, 1.5 gigs ram, my mom has 2.4ghz,767 mb ram.
